David Wiltse wrote a series of books with a character by the name of John Becker, who was an ex-CIA agent. I can't even begin to tell you how good these books are. Unfortunately, he only wrote seven of them. Isn't that always the way???

It's not that the story is bad, I just don't like the way the author writes women. He also tends to start with a bang and then bog down.

I could not put it down. It was an easy read, yet gripping. Chapters flew and before I knew it, I have reached the last page. a page turner for sure....

Overall a pretty easy and captivating read. I lowered the star rating due to the extreme frustration I felt while reading this book. I don鈥檛 think I have ever been more irritated and frustrated with characters in my entire life. Between the HORRIBLE, close minded police/FBI work and the super easily agitated and judgy nature of the lead female FBI agent, I almost lost my mind! I kept thinking, ya鈥檒l can鈥檛 really be this dumb, but there they went, being dumb. 馃檮 All that aside it was an entertaining and suspenseful read.

I鈥檝e never experienced a book that embodied keeping me 鈥渙n edge of my seat鈥� as much as this one. Not only did constant 鈥渁lmost鈥漵 keep me angsty and eager to keep reading, but it lends to the idea of how one single second or one small decision can change everything.
And talk about getting into the mind of a psychopath! The villain was so expertly written it seriously had me questioning the authors sanity, which is the highest compliment I can conjure for a crime writer.
I鈥檇 recommend this to any thriller enthusiast!

Fue totalmente una p茅rdida de tiempo.

Creo que quiz谩s el tema de la historia hizo que desde un inicio no me agradara ni me sintiera atra铆do a seguir leyendo.

En un inicio te presentan a un "super agente" con una habilidad especial para atrapar a los "malulos", pero casi llegando al 97% la verdad que este detective hizo absolutamente nada.

No lo recomiendo

I think this book is in the middle of a series featuring John Becker. In this one Becker is on an extended medical leave from the FBI but is pulled into a serial kidnapper/killer case by his former protege Karen Crist. Becker does a profile, but gets it all wrong. I would like more background on the kidnappers/killers. And having Crist's child become a victim was just a little too much. Other than those two things it was altogether a good example of one of my favorite genres...sick shit. I'll probably read more of this series if the library has copies.

Another superior novel of psychological suspense by Wiltse featuring John Becker, the legendary FBI agent with the customary haunting past. Though, the novel doesn't offer much in the way of brilliant deductive skills nor fascinating tidbits about investigative techniques that a good police procedural would offer, Wiltse excels in telling a gripping story peopled with interesting characters and amusing banter among different characters. A compelling novel about a psychopathic duo which was kidnapping and murdering young boys; another solid addition to Wiltse's Becker series.

Hunt for serial killer of 9yo boys. Not a great deal os suspense but interesting characters. Shame though that too many of the main protaganists have a similar background. Most sympathetic character is Ash the criminal sidekick.
Despite this the pacing and writing is good enough to keep you turning pages.
